Researchers from Soochow University and Northwestern University have unveiled a promising advancement in nuclear medicine diagnostics through the use of perovskite semiconductor detectors for single-photon γ-ray imaging. This novel approach enhances spatial and energy resolution in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), a technique heavily reliant on γ-ray cameras. The study, published in Nature Communications, reports impressive energy resolutions for radionuclide diagnostics, suggesting potential cost-effective improvements in imaging clarity and patient safety, pending further clinical validation.
